Ok. That's what ended up needing to be done.

To be concise here are the steps that I followed (along with the notes that the_rooter provided).

Start with a rooted Note 3 on NC4 (About Phone shows baseband and build ****NC4).

Download Busybox from the playstore and install.

Download Safestrap (latest 3.75 version) from the Safestrap thread and install (install to recovery as well)

Reboot into Safestrap recovery. Do a backup (nandroid) of your stock ROM.

Download Odin (3.18 I think; please correct me here) and NC2 kernel tar.md5 file (use your Google powers)

Shutdown your phone and boot into download mode (Vol Down + Home + Power). If you're still in Safestrap recovery you can reboot to download mode from here. You may have to download Samsung drivers. When I did this Note 3 I just plugged it into the USB after I was in download mode and the drivers auto installed and Odin recognized it after I restarted it (look in the little scroll box in the bottom left, it will say "xxx Added!"). When I did something similar with my S3 I had to find and download the drivers. YMMV.

Flash the NC2 kernel in the AP (double check this; I'm going from memory) slot through Odin. Odin will reboot your phone and you'll bootloop if you let it boot into the stock slot. To go back to stock rooted TW you'll need to use Odin to flash back to NC4 kernel. ie if you let it boot it will sit at the VZW logo forever (do a battery pull).

Reboot back into Safestrap recovery.

Wipe the stock slot (factory reset).

Install Hyperdrive

Reboot

Wait a bit

Enjoy boot animation (I lol'd)!

Enjoy speedy phone (jeez it blew through the cache creation)!

Hopefully that is clear and easy to follow. I'm pretty sure those are all the steps I followed. The two major differences between the OP's steps and the above are that you're going to need to downgrade the kernel to the NC2 version and flash on the stock slot. Once I did both of those things the phone booted fine.

Oh! One more thing! Make sure you check the MD5SUM of the Hyperdrvie zip file you download. The first download I did was bad (silly XDA). The file should be around 1.7GB in size. If you do everything from the CLI/ADB Shell then you can type

md5sum <name_of_file>

to get the hash to compare.

Good luck!

Also, let me know if I missed anything or wrote something wrong. I'm going from memory on the day after I did this.

Doing part of the steps u stated above is known for causing problems for me it did. What I did was install hyperdrive via safestrap, and then instead of rebooting phone after flash go back to may screen of safestrap and bottom right hand corner click that box and choose download mode. This way worked best and didnt give me problems.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mikejr83:
So flashing NC2 before installing Hyperdrive is causing problems? Any specific problems?

Right now I'm having issues with the processor being pegged on each core. The kernel is having its govenor set to performance and changing it won't stick on boot. I guess that could be caused by the flash order...

Also, there are some settings sections that are FC'ing on open, "Security" being one.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_rooter:
Opening settings has been an issue plus a few more. Mine was when I flashed the nc2 first caused issues. Wouldn't flash or just wouldn't load past ss.

Installing awesome note hd.zip.... will not install... reboot and flashed no install. ANY help?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] MANswers:
Did all the above, did not work. I did a clean re-install of the rom again, and did not install xposed framework modules. It works fine now. Looks like one of the exposed framework module is causing this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] PhilPan:
Sbreen, I'm not asking for an eta here, but I been loving your ROM so much since release 1, that I skipped over 1.1. But I was getting itchy and wanted to flash something; should I go ahead and flasf 1.1, or is release2 closer than we think.

By the way, I flashed beans for a few hours, and flashed right back here, just seemed more solid to me.

Endorsement. Rocked this out on my s3 since it started. Sweetest rom I've came across ever. Very light. Does most anything you would want. Updates often. Dev is a nice person that answers a lot of questions... sorry for who ever disagrees I ran their different kernels and battery life WAS better. Only time it was the same was if you played nothing but games.. surfing. Netflix.. etc.. battery life did in deed last longer..tried many rooms on s3. Always always came back. If your on the fence. Get this rom. It's butter smooth
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] haza12d:
Yeah! What he said!

As far as I'm concerned, there need not be another release. This ROM is solid as is! No issues whatsoever! Just hope that the next release will still work with MI9 since I'm hearing terrible things about MJ7. :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sbreen94:

I see in the changelog you can enable AOSP lockscreen. I'm not finding it in the Hyperdrive mods app nor anywhere in the settings screen. Am I missing something?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carlitobahsoun:
hi..can i use this rom in my n9005 rooted note3?????
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Hyro864:
Where in the chagelog does it say that?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mikejr83:
Under the RLS6 release.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Hyro864:
I don't think anyone on here is still running that version. Most of us are on RLS8.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mikejr83:
I understand that. I'm on RLS8 as well. The reason I asked and said it showed in the changelog is that I'd like to turn on the AOSP lockscreen. I figured the feature would have remained in future versions or some note of its removal would be in the thread (I could find none; just one user saying he missed it).

If there is no AOSP lockscreen in the latest version that is fine. Perhaps someone could help me answer the following question as it is why I wanted the AOSP lockscreen in the first place: When screen security is set to swipe you can access the camera from the lockscreen. This doesn't appear to be possible with a pin protected lockscreen, correct? If it is, how does one enable it? Ideally, I'd like to achieve the functionality of AOSP where you could swipe over to the camera from the pin screen.

Just instlled the latest/final version of Hypderdrive Rom. Playing around with the keypad now the keypad is minimized and floating.

Update?

Any idea if and when RLS 9 will be available?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jetguat:
regarding the nandroid backup (using safestrap 3.75). I created one after I put the base/stock ROM on, prior to putting on jasmine. I needed to restore that stock one, and I had to go through the setup again, it didnt seem like it was an image of the system after everything was all setup. That sound odd? I am playing with jasmine 2.3.2 and the Xposed. I am trying to figure out how to get back to the default for some of the stuff I've changed, I really wish a reboot wasnt needed between each mod.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] gypsy214:
What would I need to install this on NC4? Since this rom is not updated for long time. I installed it on slot 1 went through the process but at reboot it gets a black screen after safestrap splash screen.. Have waited more than 10 minutes. I dont know if this is normal, never deal with a lock bootloader phone using safestrap
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Hyro864:
Try stock slot. And flash nc2
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] gypsy214:
NC2 what? Won't it mess up with my system if I try stock slot?

Also correct me here. If I install my stock Nandroid backup on slot 1 and flash this on stock slot. I can always restore my backup on stock slot right?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_rooter:
Read the op there are multiple pages that explain this many times.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
No it won't mess anything up. Just nandroid first. And yes you can restore your stock nandroid no problem. I only use custom slots for testing. Have had zero issues with restoring nandroids.

My guess is that "Index Service" got stuck, probably on a pdf file, and is eating your CPU. Use TiBU and turn off Index Service, reboot, and see if that works.

OK. I just went to 4.4.2 and tried to flash this rom and it keeps failing. I'm doing the wipe before flashing also. I'm on safestrapkk 3.72 as well. Here is my phone settings.

Flash in stock slot and then after done with ss boot into download mode with the nc2 kernel
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] donelam304:
I thought the whole purpose of having additional rom slots was so you could always keep a stock slot. I flashed all that stuff in the stock slot and tried to flash the hyper drive rom in the slot 1.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_rooter:
There is an issue with ROMs running on other slots other than stock. Just make a nano and u be good. You may also need to update ss to the b4 version I believe
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
U can run in custom slots however battery life and performance might not be as optimal as the stock slot. Either way to run any other rom than jasmine currently u will need to be on the nc2 kernel. That effects all slots.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] donelam304:
I looked on the link where I got my SS from and I don't see a b4 version. Unless you mean the version # before the one I have.

And that socks not being able to rom different roms when I want by just booting up. Lol. I was looking forward to having a clue of different choices available.

do you have a link for the kk firmware. I tried doing this in odin with the kk firmware I have and its not working. I have "n900v_kk_firmware.tar.md5" if you or anyone else has a link for a fix, id greatly appreciate it.

do you by chance have some links for where I can get these files to flash on odin. and could you list the order as to what I need to flash in odin.

I am sorry for posting a bunch on this about this, but im really in a pinch and need to get my phone going again. I do have a nandroid backup if I can actually get in to the recovery.

Do not flash this on the note!! It will brick it!!!

Only for the s4. If you flash on a s4 you can change the APN and be good
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_rooter:
Dude your 100% wrong. I flashed this hundreds of times. And I bet you don't know what bricked means. If u flash this rom you need to odin the nc2 firmware. Know the facts before you claim this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mirrin:
not to nit pick but vzw Note 3 and AT&T Note 3 are not necessarily compatible unless the rom is a universal rom i would not count on it being an easy switch apn and yes it could brick the phone loading a rom can always brick a phone it is just a risk we take to have our phones in our control. Now sbreen94 kept his t-mobile note 3 and that is more likely to update at this point than this one but he had said the tmobile one is easy to port over and he would try to not abandon this one. Also BTW this one is a port of the T-Mobile rom not a verizon rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the_rooter:
It runs fine on verizon. It doesn't brick the phone I don't see why people are claiming this read the op and follow directions. Runs perfect on the verizon note 3.
